If, to lighten the drama, someone hoped for the arrival of Easter for a Ferrari renaissance, let's say that in Maranello they actually have pretty clear ideas. Ferrari is hard at work for the next Grands Prix which, we can say with certainty, they will be fundamental for the fate of the championship.
The improvements seen in Melbourne
After a certainly unpleasant start, Ferrari aims to get back up. Melbourne, at least for the moment considering the appeal for the penalty to Sainz, zero points arrived. A number that should make you think, but at the same time you shouldn't worry too much if you look at some data (such as the race pace) which undoubtedly seems to have improved. A solid performance bound too to the first news as stated by Frederic Vasseur"We acted very quickly, already starting to make changes in Melbourne. In the race, in fact, the car was more balanced than in the other Grands Prix".
Vasseur denies: "There is no such thing as a Ferrari-B"
Very confident words, those of the team principal of red, who has no doubts: there is no Ferrari-B. For a few weeks, in fact, rumors had spread about a possible arrival of one new red Imola. Vasseur has confirmed that they will be there many developments, but that the identity of the car will not change"The one that will arrive in the next GPs, I don't think we can talk about a B-car because it won't have such different shapes. Before the start of the season we had a development programme, which we then had to adapt to what happens on the track, to the problems and the behavior of the car. We know it can't be thrown away entirely. It is also not possible due to the budget cap and the limit of hours in the wind tunnel. What we are doing is investing resources and time to anticipate some components. To make you understand: the updates that were planned for Barcelona will arrive in Imola. Our goal is to try to be ahead of the times”.
Keep calm
Total changes coming then? No, but important upgrades that are ready to give the SF-23 a new twist. It didn't start well but, as Vasseur says, we are only at the third appointment out of twenty-three. Calm.
